drivers/tty: require read access for controlling terminal

2015-11-17T15:54:42+00:00

commit 0c55627167870255158db1cde0d28366f91c8872 upstream.

This is mostly a hardening fix, given that write-only access to other
users' ttys is usually only given through setgid tty executables.

tty: fix stall caused by missing memory barrier in drivers/tty/n_tty.c

2015-11-17T15:54:42+00:00

commit e81107d4c6bd098878af9796b24edc8d4a9524fd upstream.

My colleague ran into a program stall on a x86_64 server, where
n_tty_read() was waiting for data even if there was data in the buffer
in the pty.  kernel stack for the stuck process looks like below.
 #0 [ffff88303d107b58] __schedule at ffffffff815c4b20
 #1 [ffff88303d107bd0] schedule at ffffffff815c513e

 #3 [ffff88303d107ca0] wait_woken at ffffffff81096bd2
 #4 [ffff88303d107ce0] n_tty_read at ffffffff8136fa23
 #5 [ffff88303d107dd0] tty_read at ffffffff81368013
 #6 [ffff88303d107e20] __vfs_read at ffffffff811a3704
 #7 [ffff88303d107ec0] vfs_read at ffffffff811a3a57
 #8 [ffff88303d107f00] sys_read at ffffffff811a4306
 #9 [ffff88303d107f50] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath at ffffffff815c86d7

There seems to be two problems causing this issue.

First, in drivers/tty/n_tty.c, __receive_buf() stores the data and
updates ldata->commit_head using smp_store_release() and then checks
the wait queue using waitqueue_active().  However, since there is no
memory barrier, __receive_buf() could return without calling
wake_up_interactive_poll(), and at the same time, n_tty_read() could
start to wait in wait_woken() as in the following chart.

        __receive_buf()                         n_tty_read()
------------------------------------------------------------------------
if (waitqueue_active(&tty->read_wait))
/* Memory operations issued after the
   RELEASE may be completed before the
   RELEASE operation has completed */
                                        add_wait_queue(&tty->read_wait, &wait);
                                        ...
                                        if (!input_available_p(tty, 0)) {
smp_store_release(&ldata->commit_head,
                  ldata->read_head);
                                        ...
                                        timeout = wait_woken(&wait,
                                          TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, timeout);
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The second problem is that n_tty_read() also lacks a memory barrier
call and could also cause __receive_buf() to return without calling
wake_up_interactive_poll(), and n_tty_read() to wait in wait_woken()
as in the chart below.

        __receive_buf()                         n_tty_read()
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                        spin_lock_irqsave(&q->lock, flags);
                                        /* from add_wait_queue() */
                                        ...
                                        if (!input_available_p(tty, 0)) {
                                        /* Memory operations issued after the
                                           RELEASE may be completed before the
                                           RELEASE operation has completed */
smp_store_release(&ldata->commit_head,
                  ldata->read_head);
if (waitqueue_active(&tty->read_wait))
                                        __add_wait_queue(q, wait);
                                        spin_unlock_irqrestore(&q->lock,flags);
                                        /* from add_wait_queue() */
                                        ...
                                        timeout = wait_woken(&wait,
                                          TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, timeout);
------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are also other places in drivers/tty/n_tty.c which have similar
calls to waitqueue_active(), so instead of adding many memory barrier
calls, this patch simply removes the call to waitqueue_active(),
leaving just wake_up*() behind.

This fixes both problems because, even though the memory access before
or after the spinlocks in both wake_up*() and add_wait_queue() can
sneak into the critical section, it cannot go past it and the critical
section assures that they will be serialized (please see "INTER-CPU
ACQUIRING BARRIER EFFECTS" in Documentation/memory-barriers.txt for a
better explanation).  Moreover, the resulting code is much simpler.

Latency measurement using a ping-pong test over a pty doesn't show any
visible performance drop.

serial: 8250: bind to ALi Fast Infrared Controller (ALI5123)

commit 1d7002777a8fe8188caaa98d4a8eb4ed298fcdae upstream.

This way this device can be used with irtty-sir -
at least on Toshiba Satellite A20-S103 it is not configured by default
and needs PNP activation before it starts to respond on I/O ports.

This device has actually its own driver (ali-ircc),
but this driver seems to be non-functional for a very long time

tty/serial: at91: RS485 mode: 0 is valid for delay_rts_after_send

2015-08-12T14:33:12+00:00

commit 8687634b7908c42eb700e0469e110e02833611d1 upstream.

In RS485 mode, we may want to set the delay_rts_after_send value to 0.
In the datasheet, the 0 value is said to "disable" the Transmitter Timeguard but
this is exactly the expected behavior if we want no delay...

Moreover, if the value was set to non-zero value by device-tree or earlier
ioctl command, it was impossible to change it back to zero.

xen/events: don't bind non-percpu VIRQs with percpu chip

2015-08-06T23:32:12+00:00

commit 77bb3dfdc0d554befad58fdefbc41be5bc3ed38a upstream.

A non-percpu VIRQ (e.g., VIRQ_CONSOLE) may be freed on a different
VCPU than it is bound to.  This can result in a race between
handle_percpu_irq() and removing the action in __free_irq() because
handle_percpu_irq() does not take desc->lock.  The interrupt handler
sees a NULL action and oopses.

Only use the percpu chip/handler for per-CPU VIRQs (like VIRQ_TIMER).

serial: of-serial: Remove device_type = "serial" registration

2015-08-06T23:32:08+00:00

commit 6befa9d883385c580369a2cc9e53fbf329771f6d upstream.

Do not probe all serial drivers by of_serial.c which are using
device_type = "serial"; property. Only drivers which have valid
compatible strings listed in the driver should be probed.

When PORT_UNKNOWN is setup probe will fail anyway.

Arnd quotation about driver historical background:
"when I wrote that driver initially, the idea was that it would
get used as a stub to hook up all other serial drivers but after
that, the common code learned to create platform devices from DT"

This patch fix the problem with on the system with xilinx_uartps and
16550a where of_serial failed to register for xilinx_uartps and because
of irq_dispose_mapping() removed irq_desc. Then when xilinx_uartps was asking
for irq with request_irq() EINVAL is returned.

serial: xilinx: Use platform_get_irq to get irq description structure

2015-08-06T23:32:07+00:00

commit 5c90c07b98c02198d9777a7c4f3047b0a94bf7ed upstream.

For systems with CONFIG_SERIAL_OF_PLATFORM=y and device_type =
"serial"; property in DT of_serial.c driver maps and unmaps IRQ (because
driver probe fails). Then a driver is called but irq mapping is not
created that's why driver is failing again in again on request_irq().
Based on this use platform_get_irq() instead of platform_get_resource()
which is doing irq_desc allocation and driver itself can request IRQ.

Fix both xilinx serial drivers in the tree.

TTY: fix tty_wait_until_sent on 64-bit machines

2015-05-09T22:16:24+00:00

commit 79fbf4a550ed6a22e1ae1516113e6c7fa5d56a53 upstream.

Fix overflow bug in tty_wait_until_sent on 64-bit machines, where an
infinite timeout (0) would be passed to the underlying tty-driver's
wait_until_sent-operation as a negative timeout (-1), causing it to
return immediately.

This manifests itself for example as tcdrain() returning immediately,
drivers not honouring the drain flags when setting terminal attributes,
or even dropped data on close as a requested infinite closing-wait
timeout would be ignored.

The first symptom  was reported by Asier LLANO who noted that tcdrain()
returned prematurely when using the ftdi_sio usb-serial driver.

Fix this by passing 0 rather than MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT (LONG_MAX) to the
underlying tty driver.

Note that the serial-core wait_until_sent-implementation is not affected
by this bug due to a lucky chance (comparison to an unsigned maximum
timeout), and neither is the cyclades one that had an explicit check for
negative timeouts, but all other tty drivers appear to be affected.

tty: fix up atime/mtime mess, take four

2015-05-09T22:16:24+00:00

commit f0bf0bd07943bfde8f5ac39a32664810a379c7d3 upstream.

This problem was taken care of three times already in
* b0de59b5733d18b0d1974a060860a8b5c1b36a2e (TTY: do not update
  atime/mtime on read/write),
* 37b7f3c76595e23257f61bd80b223de8658617ee (TTY: fix atime/mtime
  regression), and
* b0b885657b6c8ef63a46bc9299b2a7715d19acde (tty: fix up atime/mtime
  mess, take three)

But it still misses one point. As John Paul correctly points out, we
do not care about setting date. If somebody ever changes wall
time backwards (by mistake for example), tty timestamps are never
updated until the original wall time passes.

So check the absolute difference of times and if it large than "8
seconds or so", always update the time. That means we will update
immediatelly when changing time. Ergo, CAP_SYS_TIME can foul the
check, but it was always that way.

Thanks John for serving me this so nicely debugged.
